Oral Mucosal Disorder

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of oral tissue sloughing through self-report by study subjects and by professional dental examinations.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of oral tissue sloughing through self-report by study subjects and by professional dental examinations. Adverse events will be tracked through study dental examinations and subject diaries with twice daily use of the 3M Oral Rinse used in combination with toothpaste containing one of three levels (no, medium, high) of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). Determine the subjects' acceptance of sloughing and/or other side effects

Interventions

DRUGNo SLS toothpaste

Toothpaste no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

DRUGMedium SLS toothpaste

Less than or equal to X ppm Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

DRUGHigh SLS toothpaste

More than or equal to X ppm Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

DEVICEAnti-plaque

Rinse prevents bacterial adherence to teeth
